Call of Duty: MW3 multiplayer and zombies free this weekend

Activision revealed via their Call of Duty blog that several multiplayer modes, including Zombies, will be free for Call of Duty MW3 this weekend. The free access event kicks off on December 14 and will last through December 18. Players will be able to jump in and have free access to six maps, four multiplayer modes, Modern Warfare Zombies, and three of the Ground War maps.

Those interested in checking out the multiplayer will have plenty to try out. Here are the maps and modes that are part of the free event:

• 6v6 Core Multiplayer Maps: Terminal, Rust, Highrise, Shipment, Afghan, Meat
• Ground War Maps: Popov Power, Orlov Military Base, Levin Resort
• Core Modes: Team Deathmatch, Hardpoint, Domination, Kill Confirmed, Ground War, War
• Playlists: Rustment 24/7 (Shipment and Rust), War Mode, 6v6 Moshpit (featuring Highrise, Meat, Afghan, Terminal), Ground War, Modern Warfare Zombies

Overall it’s a nice mix of maps. Terminal, Rust, and Shipment are fan favorites, whereas the map Meat is a brand new map. Players will be able to level up very quickly via Rustment 24/7 which will allow them to check out some of the later-level unlocks to see if they like what is there.

It appears the full Modern Warfare Zombies mode will be included in the free access as well, which is worth checking out. Instead of traditional Zombies maps, MW3 features a DMZ/Warzone style open-world Zombies map.

The Call of Duty MW3 Free Access event begins on December 14 at 1 p.m. ET and will run through December 18 at 10 a.m. ET.
